Creating resistance to the whitefly <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> in cassava through RNAi-mediated targeting of multiple insect metabolic processes

2026-02-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> It is commonplace in East Africa for 100% of cassava fields to be infected with Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and/or Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD), resulting in annual losses of more than US$1.25 billion and reduced food and economic security for farming households. The vector of both diseases is the African cassava species of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci . Since the late 1990s, there has be...
